Description
The Moon Man is a beautifully illustrated tale by Tomi Ungerer. Every night, he looks down on people dancing on Earth, wishing he could join them. One evening, he hitches a ride on a comet and crash-lands on our planet. The Moon Man soon finds himself in jail, mistaken for an invader rather than a friendly visitor. However, the Moon Man has a clever plan to escape. He sets out to make his way back home, using gentle satire to poke fun at self-important adults who fear anything unfamiliar. This charming story reminds us that there's no place like home. First published in 1967, The Moon Man won a Book Week prize for children aged 4-8. Since then, it has been translated into 12 languages.
